The Champions League match between Manchester City and Real Madrid will go ahead as planned on the 7th August according to 'The Sun'. This is despite England announcing that anyone arriving from Spain must now quarantine for 14 days.

There remains a rule in place which allows for exceptions when it comes to sporting events and, as things stand, they don't plan on changing that. The match will, of course, still be played behind closed doors.

 

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Saturday that any travellers coming to the UK from Spain would now be forced to quarantine for 14 days following the increase of positive COVID-19 cases in Spain.
